This three-part project will give you an opportunity to initiate a research study by conducting a literature review on a course-related topic of your choice. The purpose of a literature review is to inform the researcher about the current state of theory development, the research questions that have already been addressed, and to help guide the development of new scientific inquiry in respect to the research topic. The literature review sets the foundation from which the investigator's efforts to contribute new information to the body of scientific knowledge will be made and relates directly to the first three TCOs. The topic that you choose will relate to at least one additional TCO.
Sources of data include articles in peer-reviewed scholarly journals, court decisions, statutes, personal narratives, government review articles, professional publications (usually referred to as trade journals) in a related field of practice, newspaper articles in reputable national daily newspapers, book chapters from academic sources, and Internet articles from professionally credible organizations. Please avoid using references such as Cliff Notes, YouTube, blogs, Wikis, online dictionaries, and encyclopedias as references in an academic paper, because they are not primary sources. Also limit the use of .com sources to those that are credible. Remember, all sources in an academic paper must be primary sources. Learning to conduct and write up a good literature review is a valuable academic skill. This information becomes the basis for constructing a research methodology that will enable the researcher to complete his or her inquiry.
